Abstract (en)

A hybrid biological membrane reactor for treating industrial and urban waste waters with organic, nitrogenous matter, combining the presence of microorganisms in suspension and in a biofilm. It is provided with three chambers: an anoxic chamber (1); an air-lift type aerobic chamber (2), and a filtration chamber (3). The microbial sludge in suspension is maintained in the three chambers, whereas a granular and coarse plastic support is confined in the aerobic chamber (2), on which support a biofilm grows which has a high fraction of nitrifying microorganisms and is fluidized by means of the application of an air current distributed through diffusers in the chamber. The filtration chamber (3) incorporates hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane modules used for separating the treated water from the biological sludge, recirculating the sludge to the anoxic chamber for the purpose of maintaining a suitable microbial concentration. <IMAGE>
